An intern has died after allegedly working for 72 hours straight during his
placement at the London offices of an American bank.

Moritz Erhardt, 21, was found collapsed in his flat after failing to arrive at
work at the investment banking division of Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Mary Hassell, the coroner for Tower Hamlets, is awaiting the results of
post-mortem tests before deciding whether to open a formal inquest into his
death. Scotland Yard said that the death was “not suspicious”.

Mr Erhardt was in the sixth week of a seven-week pre-graduate programme when
he collapsed in the shower
